FieldShield Version 6 (V6) is the latest release of the pioneer product in the data masking market first launched in 2011. The new version introduces several advanced features for data breach mitigation, test data management, and privacy law compliance:
Enhanced File Coverage: The new version supports ASN.1-encoded CDR files and flat files stored in Amazon S3, Azure Blob, and Google Cloud Platform. This expands source and target options beyond existing support for RDBs, flat-files on-premise, and Excel sheets.
Upgraded Data Classification & Discovery: Revamped infrastructure in the IRI Workbench GUI offers faster and easier data labeling. V6 also supports data class groups applicable to various privacy laws and sensitivity levels.
DarkShield API Integration: V6 can call an IRI DarkShield rule to find and mask PII floating in semi- and un-structured text columns of a relational database.
Improved PII Analysis: Better HTML data profiling and discovery charts, plus a new Data Class Map, provide more meaningful and granular information about data at risk. Expanded Masking Rules: Additional PII obfuscation methods include smart email and NID generators, versatile nested functions, and format-preserving scrambling to deliver more deterministic and non-deterministic, data masking options.
FieldShield V6 also remains the only data masking tool supporting advanced business logic, re-ID risk scoring, and a range of data profiling and anonymization features for RDB test environments.
And by leveraging DarkShield (for unstructured data), RowGen (for smart data synthesis), and/or CoSort (for fast data integration, cleansing, and reporting) functionality in their jobs, FieldShield users can apply data masking in many more use cases.
